I'm currently using a B&M generator with a B&M 6V/3W
headlight and am very pleased with the lighting quality
on road or bike path. I've also run the light at 2.4W
with little difference in lighting capacity.
Since they have a model with a built in LED for standlight
purposes, it seems we're already where you think we might
go!
The only bad thing about the light is its bulb is hard
to find with only about a 100 hour lifespan. LEDs could
really help in that area.
